Characters:I learned that Ji Li has a terrible life and she doesn't want to be disliked or not chosen because her grandfather was a landlord and her dad was a rightist. I also learned that the people Ji Li helped can be against her if it they want to follow chairman Mao's bright future. I also learned that chairman Mao can make people believe in him.
Analysis:This chapter is important because it shows how people can leave you behind for another person. It also shows how strict, people can be to have a bright future not a bad and unlucky one. This chapter shows how scared people got in the cultural revolution. It also shows how you can be treated if your grandfather or father was something bad. You shouldn't be treated this way because of your grandparent or someone, you should be treated likethe person you really are.
